Intrusion.Com Delivers Secure, Manageable IP Addressing Appliance;

Securecom 8001 Integrates Check Point's Meta IP for E-Business IP Infrastructures

RICHARDSON, Texas--May 23, 2000 (Business Wire)-- Intrusion.com, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ODS Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:ODSI) and a global provider of security solutions, today announced the immediate support for Check Point Software Technologies' (Nasdaq:CHKP) Meta IP software on the Securecom 8001 appliance, enabling secure, reliable, Internet Protocol (IP) services for e-commerce.

The SecureCom 8001 is the first Internet appliance to integrate Meta IP, Check Point's industry leading IP address management software. The SecureCom 8001 integrated with Meta IP software represents a further extension of Intrusion.com's cooperation with Check Point to provide enterprise customers and service providers secure and manageable IP services.

"Along with the benefit of a highly reliable solution, these appliances will dramatically reduce installation costs and administrative overhead for corporations, especially those with many remote offices," explained Billy Austin, vice president of marketing and sales for Intrusion.com. "The SecureCom 8001 enables companies to widely deploy and centrally manage pre-configured, 'plug-in' network appliances for IP addressing and naming. Our pre-configured SecureCom 8001 saves time and money by eliminating the difficult task of installing extra software on multiple servers deployed in multiple remote locations."

The SecureCom 8001 adds secure IP addressing and naming (DNS and DHCP) services to the family of Internet security appliances and managed security platforms integrating best-of-breed software applications for secure Internet access, routing, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), and LAN/WAN connectivity. SecureCom 8001 is standards-based and designed to incorporate easily within a customer's existing network environment on Linux, Solaris and Windows NT operating systems.

"Customers worldwide are looking to deploy secure and scalable IP address management solutions," said Asheem Chandna, vice president of product management and business development, Check Point Software Technologies. "The integration of Check Point's Meta IP with Intrusion.com's SecureCom 8001 provides customers with a turnkey solution that delivers secure, scalable and manageable IP services while lowering administrative and management costs."

The SecureCom 8001 installed with Check Point's Meta IP and either Red Hat Linux or Microsoft Windows NT is available immediately through a worldwide network of value-added distributors, authorized resellers and managed service providers. Additional hardware and software options are also available. All standard and optional hardware and software packages, including the hardened Red Hat Linux version 6.1 operating system, are available pre-installed by Intrusion.com.
